Optimality vs Completeness: Striking a Balance in Algorithm Design

In computer science, algorithms are essential tools for solving problems efficiently. When designing algorithms, two key concepts to consider are optimality and complexity. Both concepts are related to the efficiency of an algorithm, but they approach efficiency from different perspectives. Optimality refers to the best possible solution to a problem,...

Building A Power Supply for My DIY CNC Machine

CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, is a revolutionary technology that has transformed the manufacturing industry. CNC machines are used in a wide range of applications, from precision machining to woodworking and metalworking, and have completely changed the way that many products are manufactured. CNC machines are essentially automated tools that...

Vim vs NeoVim

Vim and NeoVim are both powerful and popular text editors that are widely used in the software development community. Both editors are based on the original Vi editor, which was developed in the 1970s and is still widely used today. Vim is a free and open-source text editor that is...

What is Linear Algebra?

Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with linear equations, linear transformations, and vector spaces. It plays an important role in various fields, including physics, engineering, computer science, and economics. At its core, linear algebra studies the properties of linear equations and linear systems of equations, which are...

Working With Z-Wave IoT Gateways

Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol used for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It is designed to facilitate communication between smart home devices, such as smart locks, thermostats, and light switches, and enable them to be controlled remotely. Z-Wave operates on a low-energy mesh network and uses a frequency band...

Semaphores: Understanding the Basics of Synchronization

A semaphore is a variable or abstract data type in computer science that is used to restrict access to a shared resource by several threads and avoid critical section problems in a concurrent system like a multitasking operating system. 

Synchronization primitives include semaphores.

A Lightweight document-oriented NoSQL Database for the GO language

CloverDB is the work of a great friend and fellow Computer Scientist, Stefano Scafiti. It is a lightweight NoSQL database designed for being simple and easily maintainable, thanks to its small codebase. The project was inspired by tinyDB.

I contribute where I can to this great project. If you know the Go language, and love to support free open source software like me, you are more than welcome to join the project on its GitHub page.

The World Wide Web

The world wide web is like a global filing system that runs on the internet. Each entry in this filing system is a website, which can consist of many webpages. Each webpage brings code, text, and multimedia files together. Hyperlinks are special interconnections between webpages that help users navigate through...
